Table 12: Troubleshooting Problems
Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution
Board does not
respond. The board is
incorrectly aligned in
a PCI expansion slot. Check that the slot in which your DT3155
board is located is a PCI slot and that the
board is correctly seated in the slot; see
the instructions in the DT3155 Getting
Started Manual.
The interrupt level is
unacceptable. An interrupt conflict exists in your system.
The most common interrupt conflict
occurs with a PCI device and a device that
is plugged into the ISA bus. To resolve this
problem, change the interrupt setting
(usually by changing a jumper) on the ISA
device.
An interrupt conflict can also occur if a PCI
device was not designed to share
interrupts. To resolve this problem, select
a different interrupt for each PCI slot in the
PCI BIOS. To do this, enter the system
BIOS program; this is usually done by
pressing the DEL key when rebooting your
system. Once in the system BIOS, enter
the PCI/PnP BIOS setup, and select a
unique interrupt for each PCI slot. The PCI
BIOS assigns the interrupt; the device on
the PCI bus does not have control over the
interrupt assignment.
Some network devices do not share
interrupts. If you still have an interrupt
conflict, try removing the network device,
installing the DT3155 board and rebooting
the system, then reinserting the network
device.
The board is
damaged. Contact Data Translation for technical
